When handed an ancient Egyptian artifact, Harry had fallen into a deep trance, drawing hieroglyphic symbols, including mushrooms, and using ancient Egyptian phrases to describe a drug that can enhance psychic abilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntrigued, Dr. Puharich studies Harry's trance-induced statements and discovers that they are clearly describing ancient spiritual practices involving \u003ci\u003eAmanita muscaria\u003c\/i\u003e (fly agaric) mushrooms. He begins direct investigations with Harry at his lab in Maine, learning more about the use and preparation of the sacred mushroom as well as about astral travel and past lives. Dr. Puharich shares his research with ethnomycologist R. Gordon Wasson, who is about to travel to Mexico on a CIA-funded research trip, and the two researchers agree to test telepathic communications between the lab in Maine and a Mexican curandero.

This book reveals all the details of that story in this new edition of the psychedelic classic. It also includes an in-depth introduction by psychedelic historian P. D. Newman.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51317778776287,"sku":"9781644116876","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Yt6V4Zk81r9781644116876.webp?v=1788348487"},{"product_id":"uri-a-journal-of-the-mystery-of-uri-geller-paperback","title":"Uri: A Journal of the Mystery of Uri Geller - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUri: A journal of the mystery of Uri Geller\u003c\/em\u003e is a rollercoaster ride involving paranormal activity, extraterrestrials, the conflict between Israel and its neighbors, the nature of reality, and the future of our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story begins in late 1970 when American physician and scientist Andrija Puharich, read a report written by an Israeli army officer about a young man in Israel named Uri Geller.
